Long-Term Running Goals:

I love to run! I want to feel good and run for a very long time.

Personal:

My husband Brent and I live in Orem with our three kids ages 12, 10 & 7. Brent is a Marriage and Family Therapist and I'm at home with the kids. I used to be a CPA, but now I just do a little bookkeeping from home. For a lot of years running a marathon was something I did to get back in shape after having a baby. Just finishing was accomplishment enough, now I want to finish faster.

I ran the St. George Marathon in 3:18 when I was 18 and set a record for my age division 15-18. Now I train with the girl who broke my record. I love the marathon and half marathon. Long runs are what keep me from going crazy.

I ran 4 miles @ 7:01 pace. I was breathing a lot harder than I used to feel at that pace. My knee feels weak and had a slight dull ache, but nothing like the pulling twisting pain I was having! It feels good to finally have some hope.

I feel like I'm finally on the way to a full recovery from the knee injury I got when I fell while running over a month ago. After a month of pain every step I took, pain rolling over in bed at night, pain sitting down if I bent my knee too far, I finally saw a chiropractor/massage therapist who was able to work out all the issues causing my knee to pull funny. That took about a week. I just wish I would have gone one week earlier. Then I would have been able to do the Halloween race.
